Second the motion.  Nobody has too many popper recipes.

-> My indoor chile plants have "caught" a massive attack of the dreaded
-> whitefly. The leaves are going brown at the edges and slowly curling up. The
-> plants are beginning to "sag".

Next year, plant some tansy in the pots along with the chiles.  In the
garden, plant it in and around the pepper patch.  Tansy even keeps
whiteflies off lemon balm, which is their alltime favorite food.  (And
it's the only thing that does, I might add.)

Whether buying some dried tansy at the herb store and sprinkling it
on the soil and the plants will solve an existing whitefly problem or
not, I don't know, but it's certainly a dirt-cheap option to try.

Keep on rockin',
